  4. The Division of Emergency Management has submitted the following comment:  “After review, it was determined that the development would not require a floodplain development permit. Although a floodplain development permit is not required, designing structures or other developments by being reasonably safe from flooding is a best practice. Low risk doesn’t mean no risk. Reasonably safe from flooding:
    • Elevate the structure on fill
    • Build-up, instead of below (no basement); here is the link to the National Flood Insurance Technical bulletins that provide guidance for building safely in a floodplain: https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/risk-management/buildingscience/

    Contact Tracie Harrison, State Floodplain Program Manager, at [email protected] or 385-499-2077 if you have any questions.”
  5. The property will be conveyed subject to all valid existing rights.
